REASONS FOR THE PROJECT<br />
• <strong>Language</strong> is one <strong>of</strong> the symbol <strong>of</strong> our identity<br />
as people having own tradition and rich<br />
culture<br />
• Proper using <strong>of</strong> <strong>Maranao</strong> language is one<br />
way to preserve our culture<br />
• Genuine <strong>Maranao</strong> <strong>Language</strong> is diminishing<br />
because <strong>of</strong> acculturation and media impacts<br />
• Learning Genuine <strong>Maranao</strong> language<br />
enhances discipline and 7ks values among<br />
<strong>Maranao</strong><br />
• Best tools to communicate and facilitate<br />
conflicts<br />
• Uniqueness and being proud <strong>of</strong> as <strong>Maranao</strong><br />
• Usage the indigenous language are<br />
important to all social gatherings
General Situation<br />
• Clan feuding is one among the prevalent<br />
social phenomenon existing in Lanao<br />
Provinces;<br />
• Political Conflicts, Land Disputes, Debt , Illegal<br />
drugs and cases related to woman are among<br />
the triggering factors for clan feuding.<br />
• Poor governance, values distortion, poor<br />
education and poverty incidence are the major<br />
causes <strong>of</strong> violence.<br />
• Unequal distribution <strong>of</strong> resources, poor<br />
monitoring and evaluation system and<br />
negligence <strong>of</strong> responsibilities from Local and<br />
Central government continue the cycle <strong>of</strong><br />
violence in the local area.<br />
• Existence <strong>of</strong> war between Government and<br />
Revolutionary Group increased the number <strong>of</strong><br />
victims, poverty incidence and other forms <strong>of</strong><br />
violence
General Problem<br />
• Traditional structure and leaders<br />
disempowered for many decades.<br />
• Acculturation, assimilation and media<br />
intervention fades the culture and<br />
customary practice among <strong>Maranao</strong>.<br />
• Identity crises always serve as main issues<br />
among Moro-<strong>Maranao</strong> tribe as people.<br />
• Few individuals knew the indigenous<br />
<strong>Maranao</strong> language used for conflict<br />
resolution and other social formal activities.<br />
• No programs and supports <strong>of</strong> the<br />
government and other institutions in<br />
preserving the culture and values among<br />
<strong>Maranao</strong> tribe.
Community Needs Assessment<br />
-Only few institution are concerns for the cultural<br />
preservation among <strong>Maranao</strong> tribe. Museum are<br />
not available much more on the teachings <strong>of</strong> the<br />
cultures and traditions.<br />
-Few Numbers <strong>of</strong> Traditional leaders left who could<br />
transfer the indigenous language among <strong>Maranao</strong>.<br />
-Clan feuding is very rampant because <strong>of</strong> complex<br />
reasons and thus the effective tools for its<br />
resolutions are traditional mechanisms.<br />
-One <strong>of</strong> the effective tools for traditional<br />
mechanism is the usage <strong>of</strong> indigenous terms<br />
and its protocol.<br />
- The Youth today who are expected to transform<br />
the community in present and future should be<br />
trained on the <strong>Indigenous</strong> language for them to<br />
become more effective future mediators.
